This week I don't even know why I am entering. I Heart Faces is hosting a hard-core real-deal photography theme for Week 19 and my measly point-and-shoot and i don't have much to show for it. (Well, Picnik definitely helped me, too!) But, i love participating and can't help myself so here I am! It goes without saying that I am most definitely entering the Amateur category!

you may need to click on it to see all of it...?

Little C is teething so her fingers would not leave her mouth for yesterday's photo shoot. Oh well!

{As her totally non-biased mommy, i still think she is cute!}

I'm bummed that I had to add a black border around the picture but the edges got washed out due to my blog's white background. Since i'm giving up the Internet for a whole day (gasp!), i don't have time to monkey (get it? monkey? ah, at least I'm laughing) with it...oh well. The life as an amateur :-o

Super fine print: I am submitting this photo into the www.iheartfaces.com Blurb book photo contest. If chosen, I grant I ♥ Faces permission to use my photo in a printed version of a book for commercial use and possibly advertising of a photo book on both the Blurb and I ♥ Faces web sites.

Oh I love it! This is a great photo! Don't forget that you made the top ten that one week and you said you didn't think you'd win then either! I really do think this is a great picture! I'm still not sure which one i'm going to enter this week.

I only have a corny point and shoot as well lol, and oftentimes don't feel worthy of participating in such contents, but I love photography, and I put my heart into the pics I take, and that makes feel a professional hobbyist at least =)

I only have a point and shoot also and feel exactly like you. But every week I enter anyways- it's to much fun! (Plus it takes the pressure off for winning) That being said, this is gorgeous, and you have a definite shot at winning! Pun intended.

Um, it must be true what they say about the photographer making the shot and not the camera because yours is beautiful. To be honest, I couldn't decide whether or not to enter this week and was randomly clicking on entries and when I ended up at your blog I thought something like, "with photos like this, what is the point?" Then I decided that I could enter for fun and excitement, don't have to be in it to win it ;)

As her totally unbiased non-mommy - I think she's supercute too!!! One of my all time favorite photos of my little Beauty (and one I entered for no flash week) is of her teething when she wouldn't take her hands out of her mouth. Teething shots can still be cute, as you've proven here today!
